how to make buttons from old book pages 🟢 DIY 🟢 junk journal decoration 🟢 TUTORIAL 🟢

DIY! Make your own handmade buttons using old book pages! We all love using buttons in our junk journals, but the "normal" ones are really thick and sometimes they are hard to glue to paper. My book page buttons are not only very cute, but also thin enough to fit into a journal and because they are made out of paper they are easy to glue!
In the second part of the video I will show you how I use them in my junk journal calendar. This is only one example of thousands... the possibilities are nearly endless!

first, you are a gem! next, these buttons are adorable. finally, NO ONE on this channel judges you or the words you choose to express yourself & share your art. we love you!

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you SO MUCH ❤️

[@1orielle2]

I am so thankful you are bi-lingual and take the time to make tutorials for us! I always love seeing what you are up to. I love seeing how you combine modern and vintage.

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you so much ❤️ I highly appreciate your words and that you are here with me all the time!

[@KriRama]

@orielle … agreed!

[@paulinedavis3660]

Thankyou so much your so talented 😊 love these buttons xx

[@thepickypainter9854]

Handmade, homemade, self mad, DIY (do it yourself) all mean the same thing so whichever you choose it’s actually correct. And even if it wasn’t, we could see from the context of your talking points, what you meant. And yes, we do love you and thank you. Your videos only make us better artists because of how much we glean from you !!

[@kamalani808]

Your English is awesome! If I may be honest, I love hearing your accent. And, of course, your videos are inspirational and fun!

[@shirleykathan-sayess5764]

I never laugh when others don’t know the English word or use a word from their native language. I am ALWAYS impressed when someone speaks more than one language. I can’t. ☹️ And, I love the sound of rain. Another awesome tutorial, Luise! I think you are a natural-born teacher because you are SO good at it! And outstandingly creative. I LOVE these buttons and will make some today for a sewing journal I am currently making for a friend. Thank you once again. ❤️ Shirley

[@microdot153]

Love your laughter and your buttons. And the button with your name shows you are meant to be doing what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your creativity

[@melindap.ullrich4564]

Luise you’re a great teacher! Your English is just fine, if I spoke German there would be a language problem. Love the idea that you have for paper buttons! It’s fantastic. Please continue to be yourself, you are wonderful. All of us are perfectly imperfect and that is what makes us who we are!

[@beckybanta126]

I so echo your words, Melinda! She's a peach!🤗

[@MamaRazz]

Same here. Love you to bits. Be yourself. Your channel is a testament to your teaching and passion.

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

I love this page and the careful explanation you gave as to how to make these paper buttons. Thanks for all of the effort that it must take you to think in German and then quickly translate to English for your English audience. You do an amazing job! 🤗🇨🇦🤗 Liz

[@GIJane2U]

Love the sound of the rain in your video!

[@karenoglesby8033]

I love what you have done with your page, very creative! I’m glad I found you today, July 26, 2024

[@janelleespinoza1433]

Adding the splash of coffee on the buttons was not a Luise Heinzl fall! I loved the effect. Thank you for your wonderful videos!!

[@robertakeirn1870]

My sister was having a very bad day, so I made her a bunch of these buttons. She loved them! Thank you for such a great lesson!❤

[@AnasCreativeCorner]

You're an awesome sibling.

[@fontellahenderson2016]

I say self made and am American. People just need to be kind and not call different wrong lol. I love these buttons and am going to look at my papers today. Thank you and just be your charming self.

[@amberteitsworthhummel7407]

Thank you, Luise. I love the buttons!!! I also think you do a great job at explaining things in English! I always admire someone who can speak in two languages. You go girl! 😁 My sister-in-law is German and your voice and laugh remind me so much of her. ❤️

[@emorykat]

Your giggles are adorable and you share so many details, lol. Such an analyzer. This could be a 5 minute video but your specificity is adorable. ❤

[@ritah9890]

Super nice buttons! I'm glad I have a dozen or more cutting dies to punch buttons. This saves me time and nerves. However, I have to confess that I like your buttons better because each of them is unique and no one looks like the other. It's always a lot of fun and enjoyable to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@oheck5570]

You bless me with your English videos. You work so hard to find the words for our understanding. I appreciate your efforts. You do well; I can always follow you. This button tutorial is fabulous. How fun to use those buttons.

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@rebeccahenson5328]

You make beautiful music with your art. You speak English very well. Thankyou for your time and videos. You teach me a lot of things I did not think of. You are greatly appreciated.

[@bridgetjones8339]

I’m really glad you showed how you inked around the edges. It seems simple, until you go to do it and then sometimes you can really struggle and get up hung on a certain step. And then you get frustrated. But, not if you watch,Luise! 😉 ❤ P.s. your flowers are very whimsical and cute

[@carolm4094]

Love how this page turned out. Flowers with button middle is so cool!

[@anitaturner2999]

What a beautiful page!! You worry too much about your language skills. You explain things very well. I love languages and words in general but I can only speak one language. You are so admirable for so many things. Your art and your vision is so uniquely Luise, strikingly beautiful. Just be you because we love you as you are!

[@creativedevisions]

I love this channel and I love that you take the time to record in both German and English. Sometimes I watch both in the hopes that I will pick up some German.

[@cheryl7476]

I think your page turned out fantastically and artistically delightful and is very inspirational. I have already started the button process and tomorrow, I will distress them, place my Diamond Glaze ( Judikans) on them, and when dry, I will add them to my journal. I will also give some to my creative friend and give her your info., so she too can follow you and see all your inspirational ideas. Thank you, Luise . I’m so happy to have found you.

[@letha57]

Your English is very good. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. I love your ideas. I also love listening to the way you talk and your accent. It’s very endearing.

[@susangrumman9187]

That is really cool! Those buttons look like real buttons! Your English is great - saying self-made is perfect! I don't speak ANY German!!! That was really exciting that one of the buttons you made on camera randomly had your "maiden" (that's what they call it in US) name on it! And ... the blue is beautiful, it looks turquoise on my computer! The result was beautiful!!! And I loved the way you showed us various idea's for position of the buttons. Thank you!

[@reneemaine2148]

I love the sound of the rain! We don't get a lot here. Just found you recently. You are amazing! I've been binge watching your videos!

[@pennykafai4645]

Thank you for explaining in full how to make the paper buttons- just love how you sometimes use German words. Thank you for you time.❤️

[@maryannecummiskey5271]

I am enjoying your teaching so much! Your English is phenomenal and I understand completely all you convey! So inspirational and delightful you are! Thanks! Maryanne from Illinois, USA

[@donnapayne9526]

This is an awesome idea. I must break out my button punch and go to town punching stamped paper and book page for button. Thanks fir sharing your crafty goodness…Luise

[@s.baxter3891]

Love the buttons & your style! The jokes you tell while working are so enjoyable, ie; “if I was on a deserted island, I might use acrylic paint” made me laugh out loud!

[@loismaddux4800]

I love the sound of the rain! So relaxing for me. ❤❤

[@janetgeist8505]

I love your beautiful buttons. They actually look old 🥰

[@candaceyoung7145]

I love all the quirky ways that other people communicate. I am not bilingual, and can't imagine how much I would mess up words in my secondary language if I were. Lol. I think it's cute and fun and I think you do a great job speaking English!!!

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you very much 🥰

[@ebonieprater2883]

You rock and when you talk it makes me smile. Thank you for adding peace and joy to my day!!!!

[@dianawelch7923]

You explain instructions so we’ll, even when you think you don’t. I will be making. buttons for my journal and the flower idea is awesome.

[@VaneeseCollins]

I enjoyed your tutorial. You do very well with the English language. Thanks for this.

[@junerobbins6871]

I can already see some made with Christmas papers. Love your blue page and how you set your hand made buttons.

[@SusanMJB45]

A friend of mine recently sent me a link to your KZbin channel and I am so happy that she did. These buttons are beautiful !!! I look forward to watching more of your videos, so I have just subscribed. And..... your English is excellent !!!! I would not be able to do a KZbin video in a 2nd language. I am impressed by anyone who can do that...... Thank you !!!

[@sallymander1068]

Lol, i thought it started raining outside my window, lol...love watching your procesd.

[@colleenmckeeman1342]

Thank you for the video and ideas. I can usually make most anything I see but I like the imagination to come up with the idea and that’s what I appreciate so much from you. Don’t get me wrong. I learn a great deal from you and techniques, so you’re the complete package..lol

[@dancingpoet7]

I love these!! I have been in a bit of a crafting funk, but I loved this idea so much that I paused the video, grabbed some supplies, and made my own buttons along with you! I made some pink ones to go in a journal for my niece, both circles and butterflies, and a few plain book page buttons to keep in my stash. Now I just need to coat them with glossy accents. When I use glossy accents, I keep my items on top of a lid to a plastic tote rather than on book page. That way, if the glossy accent spills over the edge, they're still easy to peel off of the plastic once dried.

[@judygillespie3242]

This video just popped up. I really enjoyed this. You are a great instructor. The page is delightful. Will bing watch some more older ones tonight. I love the sound of rain.

[@aliciasandoval4069]

Amazing Louise! You can really create something beautiful out of nothing. I love your accent. I know you don't feel comfortable talking but you're doing a great job. Keep up the good work.❤

[@annettedeardurff5463]

Absolutely FABULOUS!!! So creative! I love the idea of using buttons on the pages and I think I may also try using them on tags!! Thanks for your creative inspiration!

[@charleneottinger4735]

I like!!! I planned to spend 5 or 10 minutes watching BUT watched all of your video. You make art seem simple but the outcome is anything but simple. Thanks again for sharing.

[@donnaguyton153]

Oooo, I love the rain sound. 🥰

[@maebayly9767]

Love the book page buttons. And the final page is really cool.

[@chi7126]

❤ love that you noticed about the 'Block' in your button. Yes, cool indeed :)

[@debbieklapmeier2505]

Your English is excellent! Wonderful tutorial! Hello from Minnesota, USA

[@DragonzWenchJournaling]

I like when you say self made, it sounds correct as what you are making is self made by you.

[@Carmen-fr4dw]

Recently hada young friend who played wit my hole punches & watercolour paper I had sprayed & splattered with Brusho. I covered the circles with glossy accents, but NEVER thought to turn them into buttons with my hole punches, so thank you for this inspiration.

[@terrisyoutube1726]

This is such a great idea. Not sure how it would all pan out with just one regular size whole punch. I definitely don’t think I could cut cute little circles, but I’ll save this thought for another day when I might be able to try to figure out another way to. I just love how they look and they’re so unique and fun.

[@daniellehaggard7401]

Hi, Louise. Great tutorial. Very instructive. On the optional finish for the buttons, have you tried nail polish? Most nail polish isn't entirely opaque on the first coat. Then you can topcoat with clear. I use it for my paper beads. Also, heart punch, simple flower and star punch can make cute buttons too. ❤

[@allisonjames2923]

You would think someone would have realised by now, that we like to see exactly where we are punching our holes, and created hole punchers that are meant to work facing up 🤷‍♀️ I’ve been meaning to watch this video for ages - am a bit sad you’re obviously busy with Tim Holtz creating, but only because I love having videos from you every couple of days- am more happy that Tim has recognised your genius. Especially since you still have lots of great videos to watch 😊

[@Ammiel7]

You make perfect sense your english is great, my german is nonexistent love all your tutorials Ill be making these buttons such a great idea and could also colour them to suit the pages as well as i make bright coloured journals ☺️ Thank you Luise 🇦🇺🌺❤️

[@suzyallen1726]

It was hard going but it really turned out great. I like the use of the stencil. All different kinds of circles. Love the flower petals. It really is nice.

[@cricutologist32820]

I love the button embellishments!!!

[@allthumbs3792]

Cute Cute Cute!! Cute as a .... yes, a button!! Love that they are made with the book pages, everyone has those around. I just found your channel, thank you for a great tutorial.

[@brendasmith-allen4601]

You give really good instructions. Easy to follow. Your English is fine. Don't worry about not being perfect. I just wish I could half way speak another language. Thanks for sharing!

[@cseedbead8180]

👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo...Luise... So fun waiting create. I love the simplicity, but also the building of layers to come out cohesively beautiful. T.Y. for sharing. 🙏😍👍🎻🎶

[@bethmcclard5949]

[@joycemcleod8249]

Very good idea.Love your sense of humour.

[@shugmagnolia188]

Cute! As a newbie to junk journal I love learning all the neat things. Thank you 😊

[@TubeYouLena]

That block thing is cool and yeah, life is full of strange coincidences, even for people with “normal” crafts, I am sure. some of those coincidence could indeed make hair follicles rise up a bit (goosebumps). 😊 I am really glad i discovered your channel -- pure fun.

[@kellyratliff3473]

Thank you for doing your videos in English as well. I Love this idea and doing mixed media on the page. You make it look so easy. Thank you!

[@zenmama979]

Thank you so much for your videos! Btw, an Ottlite has a full spectrum lightbulb and will show your colors as they really are. Was a game changer for me when I started using this.

[@sueflynn5671]

I LOVE the button flowers so much.You are always amazing on every video.Thank you xoxo

[@cheryl7476]

I had to come back and tell you how much fun I had making buttons out of all kinds of papers. Since watching you, it has come to my attention that many KZbinrs have made these buttons, but between you and me, I find your creative page is far more interesting. It’s your creative style, my dear. Thanks again for all your videos and creative ideas. Take care and stay healthy and happy. By the way, I adore your giggle.

[@Usdukes]

I think this is fantastic! I loved watching you create those buttons and the journal page is beautiful! Thank you!😊

Bonjour Luise, Je visite vos pages depuis peu lors d Ephemerember avec Effie. J ai vraiment adoré❤❤❤. Merci pour cette technique de boutons et de cette page magnifique. Votre talent est extraordinaire et nous offre une multitude d'inspiration. J'osais pas laisser un message français, mais je me suis dit "allez" Passez une belle fin de journée et à très bientôt pour mes achats sur votre boutique qui est une mine d'or. Merci

[@behappyyou]

Button material! lol, I don't know what they are made out of either lol. Amazing tutorial, thank you for sharing this ❤ The button with your name, it's a lovely synchronicity! I love it! You are so sweet and a good, thorough teacher. I love the collage with the flowers! I 💘this

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you so much ❤️ I am happy that I could make you laugh 😂

[@patknight12]

One of my favorites.

[@erikahatcher5492]

What a great technique and such a happy page.

[@mariearce8021]

I think that we crafters can have such an "eye" that we notice things others don't. I love that. As far as language goes, most of us use words differently and many have a hard time speaking their own native language correctly, none of us is perfect. I like your passion for the creative process and the idea of the buttons. I like the page too. I just use mod podge and they also look nice covered in pretty paper. Thank you for sharing.

[@sandysasha9239]

Fantastic buttons. Love them so much. I am so glad to find your channel. Thank you very much for sharing. 💖👍💗

[@Bellablogger]

Great step by step demo, camera close ups and your experimenting on camera. Thank you.
